Getting Pedantic - AKA Research!

THIS is an example of why the "Great Photo Cull of 2023" is taking so long.

Melbourne has FOUR Airports. The details are below this Post.

We live under the Flight Paths of Essendon and Tullamarine and therefore have some Interesting air Traffic overhead.  These are the Photos I am sorting through today.

Not content to just cull the blurry ones

and Rename the photos as the Camera file names are now being duplicated

I decided to Identify the Aircraft.

Some are Very easy - Our Flying Kangaroo is recognisable from any angle

Some not so easy - 

especially the Private Jets that fly into Essendon

And some Livery has long since Faded from Memory.  

Pacific Blue? 

Rebranded to Virgin

It has been an Interesting trip which also included Hot Air Balloons and Helicopters not to mention Vapor Trails and Skywriting.

The price of having a Curious nature and a Camera!
